Karen was born on 23 November 1830 in Hyllested to Peter Worm (no. 45) and Louise Theodora Petrine Hjort. Sometime around 1861, Karen married Knud Schott Deichmann, a man born on 7 November 1832 in Uldbjerg in Viborg county. The 1860 census records Knud as a curate* in Kistrup, a village near Randers, and living at the parsonage with his future father-in-law Peter Worm (no. 45). The 1870 census lists Karen and Knud, by then the pastor for Møborg parish, as living at the parsonage with their nine-year-old foster son and a maid. According to the 1880 census, Knud was a pastor living with his wife Karen, their 11-year-old foster son and four servants on a farm in Dallerup parish. Karen died on 1 June 1900; the 1901 census records Knud as pastor for Hvidbjerg and Lyngs, living in Semb with his niece Thyra Elisa Worm (no. 57-3) as his housekeeper plus four more servants. Knud passed away on 11 November 1906. (No children.)
